Once I despised you, Bewick dear,
but now your loss is all I fear,
not even what's to come,
because the Wheel of Fortune spins
to make us bear our fathers' sins
until we're both benumbed.
Old Graham's gone to drink again,
to boast of glorious way-back-whens,
and who will challenge him
if not old Bewick, bidding you
become him in a game for two,
while he imbibes his gin?
And so, my bollock, you will taste,
just as your pin, I will encase....
